UDOT- Fold and Form Culvert Piper Liners

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is seeking bids for a five-year contract to provide fold and form culvert pipe liners on an as-needed basis. The solicitation, numbered UDOT250204JB, requires contractors to install PVC fold-and-form pipe liners with specific technical requirements outlined in the 2025 Standard Specifications. Key deliverables include installing pipe liners less than 30 inches in diameter, performing closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections, ensuring proper sealing of connections, and restoring disturbed areas. Contractors must provide materials with a minimum 75-year service life and comply with detailed ASTM and AASHTO standards for installation. The bid opens on March 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM MST and closes on March 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDT, with all questions to be submitted through the online bidding system during the designated Question-and-Answer period. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest-cost responsive and responsible bidder, with pricing to be guaranteed for one year and potential adjustments thereafter with proper documentation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. The contract will result in a single award to the successful bidder, with UDOT reserving the right to reopen the solicitation or create a new procurement if more competition is deemed necessary. Contractors will be required to provide a performance bond equal to 20% of each project's total cost and maintain specific insurance coverages, including workers' compensation and commercial general liability of $1M per occurrence/$3M aggregate. While no specific incumbent vendors were mentioned, the contract includes provisions for termination after three written notices of failure to meet material specifications, quality work, or time requirements. Payment will be processed through detailed invoices submitted after work order completion, with separate identification for multiple work orders. Though no specific budget range was provided, the contract structure suggests an on-call, unit-pricing model that allows UDOT flexibility in project scope and expenditure.
